Mark just got back to me, $1800 plus parts for a supersport build.

mill head, degree cams, balance and blueprint bottom end.

Anyone ever use an infrared heater? Too late, I already ordered one for the garage. I wonder if they work as well as they say?

Does that mean you're gonna do it?

I understand infrared heaters only heat surfaces, not the actual air?

**600k2** · 11-07-2012, 01:56 PM

But then I guess the surfaces heat the air through convection, like how radiators work. I figure the temperature wants to equalize.

Sounds like there will be bikes at Pocono again next year...

**600k2** · 11-07-2012, 02:04 PM

Looks like some smooth sailing.

Might as well. I don't trust my abilities enough to properly prep these parts going back in and re-assemble everything properly for race purposes.

Does CCS or WERA race Pocono?

**TerribleONE923** · 11-07-2012, 02:39 PM

How is the actual track layout?

guess they finally want to make money again

**nycrider** · 11-07-2012, 04:11 PM

$250 shipped for Vortex rearsets,is it a good deal?

**!ThatGuy!** · 11-07-2012, 04:26 PM

anybody know how much a refresh for a motor would run? just approximate price. the bike currently has 15k miles on it, 3k-5k of which are on track, rest street. Figured if I get needs a refresh

tried emailing Markbilt a few days ago, but yet to hear back. I imagine their swamped.

SPL170db · 11-07-2012, 04:57 PM

Go on Ronayers.com and price it out

You'll need new valves, springs, cotters, retainers, seals, pistons, rings, big and small end bearings, gaskets.

Also labor to prep the cylinders and valve seats etc.

In other words, not cheap.

**!ThatGuy!** · 11-07-2012, 05:04 PM

Ew. Yeah looking to be approx $2k. Not cheap is right

When SHOULD a motor be rebuilt for track use? What signs should I be looking for? Is it based on mileage, burning through oil, drop in performance, or what? BTW Im googling this as well

SPL170db · 11-07-2012, 05:05 PM

A lot of times you'll be better off looking for a low mileage street motor on eGay or something and just swapping them out. Then you could try parting out useable bits from your old motor or keep them for spares.

**1/4milecrazy** · 11-07-2012, 06:47 PM

Kaz, I would suggest looking for someone else to do your motor. There are much better shops capable of doing it. For some things I would trust him, for a motor I would not.
